Sant Pere Màrtir, Mountain summit in Collserola range, Spain.
Sant Pere Màrtir is a mountain summit in the southwestern section of the Collserola range near Barcelona's Pedralbes neighborhood. The peak stands accessible from multiple hiking routes with clear trail markings that guide visitors through the network of established pathways.
The summit area contained several mining sites in the early twentieth century, including the Juanita Mine that extracted minerals from the mountain. This industrial period eventually ended, allowing the landscape to transition back to a natural recreation space.
The summit is named after a Catalan martyr and reflects the region's connection between spirituality and the land that surrounds it. Locals use this peak as a natural gathering spot for weekend outings and everyday recreation near their homes.
Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring plenty of water, especially during warmer months when the trails are busier. The established routes are generally well-maintained, though weather conditions can shift quickly in the mountains.
The mountain contains rare mineral specimens including Andalusite, Tourmaline, Galena, and Quartz that appear in geological records and publications. This mineral variety makes the location notable for those interested in earth sciences or natural specimen collecting.
